Alright, so yesterday I was chilling, right? And the topic of WrestleMania came up with my buddies. We were trying to figure out, like, how long does that thing actually last? We all had different guesses, and naturally, a debate ensued. So, I thought, “Screw it, I’m gonna find out for sure.”
First thing I did? Jumped on the internet, obviously. I mean, where else are you gonna get this kinda info? I started searching around, trying to get a straight answer, but it was kinda all over the place. Some sites said one thing, others said another. Annoying, right?
So, I decided to dig a little deeper. I started looking at past WrestleMania events. I went to the official WWE website, found some old schedules and results. Then, I cross-referenced that with some wrestling fan sites and forums where people actually discuss this stuff. You know, the hardcore fans.
Here’s what I figured out:
- The Main Show: This is the big one, the one everyone tunes in for. It usually kicks off around 7 PM or 8 PM Eastern Time and runs for about four to five hours. Yeah, you heard me right, five hours of wrestling. That’s a long sit!
- The Kickoff Show: Now, before the main event, there’s always a “Kickoff Show.” Think of it like a pre-game. This thing can last anywhere from one to two hours. They show some matches, do some interviews, get the crowd hyped up.
- Total Time: Add it all up, and you’re looking at a solid five to seven hours of WrestleMania. That’s a serious commitment!
But here’s the thing that threw me for a loop: it can totally vary. Some years are longer than others depending on how many matches they have, how much talking they do, and sometimes even technical difficulties can drag it out.
So, to be 100% sure, I looked at WrestleMania 39 from last year. Found a site that broke down the runtime. The main show clocked in at around 4 hours, and the kickoff show was about an hour. So, roughly five hours total.
Conclusion
After all that digging, I could finally give my buddies a proper answer. Wrestlemania typically runs for five to seven hours including the kickoff show. It’s a long night of suplexes, slams, and smack talk! Hope this helps anyone else wondering the same thing. It was a fun little investigation.
